dogsmother thank you for reminding me of ‘this too will pass’ which is from the bible. I will try and keep it in mind when things seem desperate.

He's probably protecting Trump too Witzend 'the devil takes care of his own'.

It will be interesting who Putin decides to align with USA or China.. Trump is making friendship overtures at the moment to try to pull Putin away from China but I don't think that Putin will reciprocate.. so where will that leave Ukraine..

I think that China will strengthen the borders with Russia, it has already conquered Tibet and is building a railway across Mongolia.. and Putin will continue it's expansionist ideal of conquering Ukraine.. I don't think USA is strong enough against these two vast countries and Europe certainly isn't..

So Trump's only hope is to make Putin an ally, hence withdrawing Intelligence updates from Ukraine.. a dangerous situation for Europe..

Who was it first coined the very useful phrase.
This Too Will Pass.
I love this, it helps with so many situations. I feel this is one of the more difficult ones.

I am sure there will be more assassination attempts on both Putin and Trump.

As Trump himself has said, ‘Gahd’ was protecting him last time someone tried to shoot him.

I dare say Old Nick is protecting Putin.

I agree NanKate. Such a brave nation. The injustice of Trumps actions is unbelievable.

Nuttynanna2 Mon 10-Mar-25 11:45:14

Eventually. Just hope I am around witness it.

I despair at the daily news of the invasion of Ukraine and how so many actions are conspiring to finish that country off.

Zelensky has devoted himself to trying to save his country and he is pushed back at every attempt recently and is ridiculed by those morons at the White House.

Putin struts around like a peacock and I notice he never attends meetings to discuss the cessation of hostilities.

Where and when will it end?
